A New Cam and Matching Torque converter have been ordered.

After I Button up The bulk of the Grüne Hölle winter work, then I will get going on this project.

I should have the converter within ~2 weeks and also the cam should be here by then as well.

Good luck with the new cam and converter combo, Greg. I bet you will pick up down low and up top... Maybe I can lay on the floor sometime and get a ride down the track in that beast? ;)

I have not disclosed any content for the New Cam 2025-?
The Old Cam from 2009-2024 is in this thread, but you hafta find it!
Converters: - I have always been cheap and bought used stuff with estimated stalls Swap meet buys/ banquet buys etc. - I have used or have been given 4 converters over the years.

I have tried 3 of those I believe - I felt all were slow.

Time to $pend the Ca$hish and get this thing rippin' good.

We shall see what it does.

A new Converter from Edge was delivered yesterday. It did not come with any documentation so I messaged Andre' to see if I can get a Specification sheet for it.

Camshafts to be on the doorstep tomorrow.
